Beat Scanner
The Beat Scanner is a nice alternative to the TAP button; instead of tapping, just keep the TAP button, or foot switch
pressed to activate it. Now, continue playing guitar. The Beat Scanner algorithm listens to the rhythm of your playing
and will detect the bpm in a few seconds. You don’t need to play a special beat - any riff should suffice, as long as it
is played with a degree of accuracy. Avoid playing prominent triplets or dotted notes, as this might fool the Beat
Scanner into selecting a wrong tempo. When the tempo is set to your satisfaction, just release the TAP button or
switch, and the tempo will stay constant. You can create any tempo between 80 and 160 bpm.
The Beat Scanner is not able to differentiate between half or double tempo. For instance, for a tempo that could be
either 70 or 140 bpm, it will always choose 140 bpm.
MIDI Clock
MIDI clock is a continuous time signal generated by all digital audio workstations and other devices and transmitted
via a MIDI cable when desired. You can use MIDI clock from any such device to automatically sync your delay and
modulation effects to the music, even on stage. The PROFILER will automatically sync to a MIDI clock signal
received by its MIDI INPUT. Whenever MIDI clock is received, a small “c” will appear on the right side of the home
screen.
The PROFILER can send MIDI clock via its MIDI OUTPUT to sync other devices. This feature needs to be activated
in the System Settings. If MIDI THRU is used as an auxiliary MIDI output, MIDI clock is also funneled to MIDI THRU.
Volume Pedal
The Volume Pedal function does not have its own effect type, as this would block a module. Instead, you will find two
parameters for the Volume Pedal in Rig Settings. Please refer to the chapter Expression Pedals and Foot Switches
for details.
